Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
The community of an ecotone commonly contains the organism of each of the overlapping communities and in addition the organism which is restricted to the ecotone. And the tendency for increased variety and density at community junctions is known as the edge effect. But the edge effect is not the reason for overlapping communities in the ecotone.
So, the correct option is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion'.
